GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
The Banquet of the Medical Congress at
washington MIsrepresented.


DR.. John l.. hickey returned Saturday
evening from Washington, D. c., where he
attended the Ninth International Medical
Congress, held there last week. The other
Wheeling physicians who were there ex-
pected to leave Washington last evening
and arrive home to-day.
This was undoubtedly the largest meet
ever held, Notwithstanding the fact that
quite a number of prominent physicians,
for certain reasons, determined to do all in
their power to make it a failure. The
only effect their efforts had was to keep
away number of eminent
men in the profession both
in Europe and the United States,
but the congress vas al unqualified sue
cess, and the largest ever held in the
history of the organization, the registra-
ton being over 5000. 1t was also the
most successful socially, scientifically and
in every other way, and those who had the
arrangements in charge feel very proud of
their work, especially when the opposition
they had to contend against is taken into
consideration.
DR.. Dickey, who attended the banquet
in Pension hall, says the reports Of the
''disgraceful scenes" enacted there which
were sent broadcast over the country
through the Associated Press, were greatly
exaggerated, and nothing more occurred
than would have occurred Oh any similar
occasion where 5000 people were present.
These false reports were sent out through
the influence Of the mslcontents, who at
tempted to injure the meeting because
they felt snubbed respecting the appoint
ment of the committee of arrangements.
The next meeting will be held In Berlin

The Wheeling Island Fair has just
closed. 1t will be well for the directors
next year to attend to the complaints
which are now made if they desire con-
tinued success. These complaints are
against the gambling devices permitted on
the ground, the sales of bogus jewelry, and
the sale of intoxicating liquor. A small
revenue is derived from these, but if per-
nitted next year the attendance will be
less. The Reunion passed off very re-
specially, but would have been disgrace
full if intoxicants had been sold. 1t is q
general remark that drunkenness vas never
before so common as at this fair, and the
farmers of the county will not patronize a
fair by taking their wives and children to
places where the wees they detest are
openly encouraged. ORDER.

Wool.
Bradstreet's Report of the C ndition oil
Market.
~liSree

40 change of any kind is ap~parentln ins
various wool markets, which continue l
uninteresting and in buyers favor. Hold
ers are unable to dispose OF large amount
of stock except at CONCESSIONS, wnicn sney
are generally slow to grant. Much OF inc
material now selling pets a loss ior tne
dealer. This, however, has been the state
of affairs for some time past. The pros.
meets for the autumn trade are certain
" no worse than a week ago, even
If no better. The manufacturers, rs q
rule, have obtained more or less orders LOT
lightweight goods, though they nave
taken them ut low prices. In buying ma
terial they still pursue the policy Of taxing
only small amounts at q time. Com
plants of keen competition from foreign
made fabrics are universal. In some quar-
ters medium woods are said to be In less
demand than formerly, but in others they
hold their advantage over fine descriptions.
The Philadelphia Textile Associations
estimates of the wool clip Of the country
this year is 261, 900 900 pounds, including
2O9, 600, 900 pounds unwashed and 52,Ooo,-
600 washed, as against 49,, DOC, 600 POUNDS
reported from the same source last year.
This statement shows q falling OIL OF III
600, 900 pounds as compared with 1850,
and a loss of 30, DOC, 900 pounds since
1884 is announced. II should be sald,
however, that last years estimate OF
2S2, O00, 900 pounds, as above, Is 'Ooo,ooo
pounds less than James Lynch's nsures,
which usually are considered very reliable.
Some estimates for this years clip run as
high as 300, OOO, 600 or $40, 0OO, 900 pounds.
In either case a loss offs to 7! per cent Is hg-
ured out. Mr.. Lynch found a deficiency,
of 2f per cent. last year on the basis OF
329, coo, 900 pounds for the clip OF 1885.
English and continental buyers are
present in large numbers at the London
sales, which opened Tuesday. Bidding Is
spirited, more particularly in cross-bred
woods. and the market is decidedly firm,
though showing no change of any account
in prices as compared with those obtained
at the close OF the last series. Both home
and continental buyers are stocking up.
Little immediate interest IS felt In the
auctions on this side of the water, as wool
is 80 cheap here that no purchases OF any
magnitude are likely to be made.
The Boston market is dull, but about
steady at recent quotations. Buyers hsve
not appeared in quite the usual number
this week, partly on sccount of the boil

made at low prices, and purchasers OF

The sales OF the week at Boston are re-
ported at 1000, COO pounds, as compared
with 2, l12, 500 last week, and 4,9OO, 900 in
the corresponding week last year.
At Philadelphia there has been a larger
volume of business, but the increase has
been ~unevenly distributed, and in many
cases has been reached at the expense Of q
further shading of prices. As a whole, the
market has continued quiet, a few houses
having done the bulk of the business. The
sales aggregate I,2Il,UUU POUNDS, against
l,027, 900 pounds last week and l,4l0,000

market closes dull and in buyers favor.

TWO ACCIDENTS.
One on the Ohio River Road and he Other
ON the Pan-Hanule. .

One ON the Ohio River Road and the Other
ON the Pan-Hanule. u
What might have been and came near
being a very serious collision, occurred on
the Ohio River railroad at Benwocd, yes
terday morning about eleven O'Clock,
which seems to have been occasioned by
~disobedience of orders on the part of an en-
giueer on one of the colliding trains. 1t
seems that the freight train that
left here a short time before
eleven o'clock yesterday morning, had
orders to take the switch at the Riverside
furnace in the upper part of Benwood, to
allow the passenger train coming north to
mass il at that point. When the engineer
reached the switch he found that he would
have time to reach the lower switch, and
continued for that point. running rather
rapidly to make the switch in sufficient
time.
He would have easily accomplished his
intention if the passenger train had
been on schedule time, but it seems to
nave been four minutes and a half ahead
and met the freight just above the lower
switch. The passenger was running rather
allow at the time and the freight was max
ing good Roadway. When the two engines
! came together there was a crash and a brief
battle ensued between them, the
freight coming off second best. The cow
catcher and the whole front part of the To-
comotiye was pretty badly smashed, and
one box and three gondOla cars were badly
wrecked.
The passenger engine was also badly
used M and the shock threw the passen-
gers around promisciously, several being
painfully, but not seriously injured. One
woman and her daughter, whose names
could not he learned, were hurt the worst.
The engineer and fireman on both engines
came ont safely. There is no telling what
loss of life and property would have re-
suited had the passenger train been run
ming fast. 1t is understood the blame IS
attached to the engineer of the freight, a.
he went against orders, although he could
easily have reached the lower switch had
not the passenger been four and q half
minutes ahead of time. AS it is, all are
thankful that the result was not more dis
astrous.
